“This tale is a sturdy one that is made even more emphatic by Davies’s terse writing style. The text is heightened in every way by Carlin’s outstanding mixed-media artwork.” — Booklist (starred review) On a mean street in a mean, broken city, a young girl tries to snatch an old woman’s bag. But the frail old woman says the thief can’t have it without giving something in return: the promise. It is the beginning of a journey that will change the girl’s life — and a chance to change the world, for good.

Book Description
The assignment was simple: submit a short story dealing with change. The results were astonishing, engaging, and incredibly varied. The stories complied in this volume range from taut action drama, to stealthy intrigue, to entralling spirituality, to tangled relationships, to timeless love renewed -- or lost, to angelic second chances. No two of the tales are remotely similar, and yet they are linked in remarkable ways. Each story is tied to all the others in the anthology with two exquisite threads. The first constant theme is redemption; in each case there is a transformation, often painful, that brings new beginnings, new possibilities and revitalized life. The second theme is love -- timeless and true -- expressed in a multitude of ways, but unfailing in bringing hope and newness. Change in the Wind is an extraordinary colletion of marvelous stories from gifted, eclectic writers who draw us into their worlds and leave us wanting more. -- publisher

Book Description
Author Harvey Marshall gleaned great thoughts, ideas, and inspiration while reading the Bible, and he wanted to share what he found with others. At first, he texted the encouraging words he learned by cell phone. Then, he sent them via e-mail, and finally he created a website with which to share the good news. In Promises to Confess to, Marshall shares these lessons, gleaned from Scripture readings, and discusses the meanings behind the encouraging words and the promises from God that are a part of the Bible's message. He follows each short inspiration with a confession or prayer that relates to the discussion. Promises to Confess to provides a lens through which to look at God and to appreciate the many colors that his glory has allowed to fall upon the earth.
